#Prathichaya so far is impressive, best first half for a #BUnnikrishnan film in recent times. Balachandra Menon delivers a standout performance after a long while, and #NivinPauly is spot on. If the second half maintains this level, we might have a winner on our hands 👌 pic.twitter.com/XWQqCRj5Zo

#Prathichaya trailer is just okay, the production quality looks solid, but the dialogues feel a bit overdramatic. That said, if the plot turns out to be strong and engaging, it could still deliver a pleasant surprise.pic.twitter.com/NWx6MVLLR7
